AMBERT GLANCED AT the side view mirror as they were leaving the parking lot of the restaurant and saw Sadie, still standing beside her car, looking stupefied, but still beautiful with the wind playing gently with her hair. Of course, she should look stumped as was expecting that he’d fall to his knees and obey her and call Allan to get back the check like she had ordered him—and she was surprised that it didn’t happen. They had lots of arguments in the past—some serious, many petty—and the only way these conversations would end was he should acquiesce to her. She only allowed arguments to end if she had won it. CEOs, COOs, VIPs, wealthy, influential people, some of them even crafted government policies that affected millions of people, listened to Ambert, took his advice— but not his girlfriend. He leaned back to his seat and sighed. Looking back, he she seemed to treat her as a subordinate when it came to their relationship.Back at the parking lot, if he was a wily and conniving man

“LET’S HAVE DINNER tonight,” Ambert told Sadie. “We can talk while we eat. I will explain why I did it. Then, after that, if you still want to make me decide on that, I will.” “Ambert,” Sadie said, sounding exasperated. “You know what your every refusal, your every delay tells me? It tells me that Layla is really important to you.” He heard her sigh. “Admit that you still love her and I will vanish from your life.”“She’s just a friend, Sadie.” No, Layla felt more an acquaintance, in fact. They never really became friends. Friends talked to each other and sometimes hung out with each other. He had never gotten out with Layla and when was the last time they talked before this fuss with Allan? It was too long ago he couldn’t remember now. But he left it at that and didn’t say anything more. The less he talked about Layla, the more the chance he could persuade Sadie to his side. “Liar!” Sadie snapped angrily. Ambert wanted to belie it but then, he was

LAYLA’S CELL PHONE beeped while she was at her desk, busy chatting on Facebook Messenger on her laptop. She picked up her phone and saw Anika’s text message. Come to my office, she told her. She left the conversation on her laptop and stood up and with her phone in her hand, walked towards her boss’ office.Anika, who was tinkering with her own cell phone, smiled generously at her when she peeked through the slightly-opened door, like her boss was a flower and she the sunlight she needed, and Anika gestured her to come inside. She walked inside and sat at the vacant chair in front of her desk. Anika put the phone down on her desk and asked her, “So I heard you already heard the good news about Allan?”She flashed her a shy smile. ‘Yes, ma’am,” she answered. “Sir Ambert called me up this morning.”“I’m just curious, maybe, you want to show him your gratitude.”Layla had been thinking on how to show her gratefulness to Ambert, and to Anika. “I-I don’t know how,” she said.Anika laughed.

“FORGET ABOUT ALLAN,” Ambert said when Layla remained speechless. “Forget that I helped you. Instead, ask yourself if you can tolerate me calling you, giving you and your family gifts, sending you flowers, texting you good morning and good night, asking if you’ve eaten or how’s your day, trying to make you and your whole family fall for me. If you can tolerate those and if you can feel a possibility that you’d one day fall for me, then, allow me to court you. Get to know me more. If you can see yourself marrying someone like me in the future,” he said and glanced at her at caught her blushing and then looking away. “Then date me. But if you’re feeling about me pursuing you is still the same before, that day when you rejected me, then, say it, tell me to go away, and I won’t pursue you. I will delete your number from my phone again, so don’t be surprised to receive a who you? when you text me again.” He chuckled and glanced at Layla and saw her with her head slightly bowed down, as

AMBERT SAW LAYLA closing her eyes as she kissed him before closing his own eyes and letting sweet darkness embrace him. He didn’t need his sight for now; all he needed for now was his sense of taste. And it got stronger when he shut his eyes as he returned his kisses. He had kissed a few pair of lips but he could judge quickly that Layla’s were the sweetest and the softest. He shut his eyes tighter and the sweetness and the softness of her lips intensified, like she was kissing a flower that was currently blooming on his lips and he was sipping all its nectar.He opened his eyes when he felt the hand of Layla on his cheek and saw him staring at him with tear-stained eyes. “I love you,” she said, almost choking with her words. “I love you so much, that’s why I was so scared to be with you because…” She paused and sobbed. “Because I knew that I would die once you found another girl.”He held her hand on his cheek and kissed it. “That would never happen,” he said and looked deeply in her

FROM LAYLA’S NECK, Ambert’s lips jumped back to her mouth, and this time, the kiss was more passionate and hungrier. And Layla answered it with the same fervor. His tongue slithered inside her mouth and her tongue gladly welcomed it and flirted with it and hugged it and twister and turned with it.They were both panting and gasping for air when their lips parted. “Take off your dress,” he said, his breathing hard and uneven. She took a quick glance at the door.“It’s locked,” he informed her.“What about Brian?” he asked while she put her fingers’ on her dress’ buttons, like she would unbutton them regardless of his answer.‘He won’t be here within thirty minutes. And besides, the door is locked, he can’t just barge here.”It was the only assurance she needed to throw all caution to the wind. She stood up and started taking off her dress while he took his shirt off while remaining sitting, his eyes never leaving her.He stopped his jaw from dropping as she stoo
Night And Shining Armour CHAPTER 41
IT WAS ALREADY past two in the morning but Layla still couldn’t sleep.She thought it would be a mortal sin to sleep tonight after everything that had happened yesterday. Ambert was her boyfriend now. How unbelievable was that? Didn’t she vow that he would forever avoid him? But then, he successfully changed her mind by being sincere and genuine. He made her feel his love for her, made her feel that it would really be a grave mistake to continue avoiding her because she wouldn’t find another man like him. If not for the heartbeat she was feeling inside her chest, she might think that he had literally melted her heart. When they kissed, he made her feel like she was drowning in happiness. Until now, she wanted to shiver every time she remembered his kisses. She could still taste his delectable lips, she could still smell his manly scent, she could still feel his hands on her body, she could still hear her soft moans whenever their lips parted and she could still see his eyes as he star
Night And Shining Armour CHAPTER 42
AMBERT SAW SOME confusion on Layla’s face when he confirmed to her that he was talking about France, the country. And he sort of had an idea why—she remembered his tryst with Sadie in that country. A woman who loved him would not easily forget that and it was for that reason that he wanted her to take to France, to Paris specifically, to have that memory with Sadie erased and replaced with brand new Paris memory with Layla. That every time he would remember France, or Paris, he would remember Layla and not Sadie; that every time he went to Paris, it was Layla he’d remember and his moments with her and not Sadie.And why did he suddenly remember Paris and had a hankering to travel there? Well, while inside Anika’s office, he saw the Eiffel Tower miniature he gifted her, standing proud on top of her desk.“I saw a post on your Facebook where you said you wanted to see the Eiffel Tower up close and personal,” Ambert said.“Yeah, I remember posting that,” she replied and then smiling awkw
